Sun, 14 May 2017 15:05:44 +0000http://elentiriel.wordpress.com/?p=1203#comment-305I like the first few published books in the Elemental Masters series – Fire Rose, the Serpent’s Shadow, Gates of Sleep, and Phoenix & Ashes. I felt that the ones published after Phoenix & Ashes were of very poor quality and the heroines were pretty much Mary Sues.

Tue, 09 May 2017 17:42:40 +0000http://elentiriel.wordpress.com/?p=1203#comment-304I am really a fan of Mercedes Lackey and I own the Fire Rose (though I still have not read it) and I was wondering if you were disappointed by many books in the Elemental series? Because I am still in her Valdemar series and Joust, and I’ve been wanted to start this series for a while.

In the story Watson is married and Sherlock is just starting to investigate Moriarty. However the characters and events from the Home From The Sea area referenced so this puts the whole timeline confusing.

Sat, 05 Nov 2016 15:09:55 +0000http://elentiriel.wordpress.com/?p=989#comment-294[…] I should probably update my most popular post, the Elemental Masters Timeline post, since I’m missing a couple books on it by now. I guess I *did* read From A High Tower, but […]

Sat, 09 Jul 2016 12:44:01 +0000http://elentiriel.wordpress.com/?p=989#comment-291I think Blood Red and From A High Tower are the earliest in the series. My reasoning is that From A High Tower references the French novelist George Sand (born 1804, died 1876) in such a way that would suggest at the time she was in her prime, scandalizing people with her habit of wearing men’s clothing.

Mon, 21 Sep 2015 02:56:15 +0000http://elentiriel.wordpress.com/?p=1120#comment-276I’ve heard Terry Pratchett’s last book was only 90% done when he died, so he hadn’t had time to round off all the corners he usually would. They decided to publish it as it was, rather than try to change it themselves. I’m still sad about him dying 😦

Sun, 28 Jun 2015 22:26:32 +0000http://elentiriel.wordpress.com/?p=989#comment-274The Wizard of London has to be set later than even 1880 – I suspect around 1890. My reasoning is as follows: I’m guessing that Sarah is around 8 and Nan about 10 in Wizard. Then in Home From The Sea, they are described as finished with school, and as young women (ladies). So if they are 18 and 20 in Home, which itself must be set closer to 1900 (because of the presence of automobiles), then Wizard can’t be set as early as 1880.

This presumes that the author is correct and consistent in these historical tidbits she sprinkles in these novels.

Sat, 21 Feb 2015 08:14:52 +0000http://elentiriel.wordpress.com/?p=989#comment-267I think Blood Red takes place possibly before 1900. One of the characters mentions the Ausgleich in 1867. This is a incident that in a way led up to the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire (see Wikipedia). There is just an impression that it happened a while ago, nothing really specific. But, there is no indication of any of the conflict leading up to WWI. And no mention of the turn of the century. So well after The Wizard of London, and probably well before Unnatural Issue. However, the Germans didn’t attack England with zeppelins until 1915, so the ending of Unnatural Issue couldn’t have happened until then. I would put Blood Red just after The Wizard of London.
